The state-of-the-art in game scripting is to manually script individual game objects that interact in the game. Thousands of non-player characters (NPCs) and props need to be scripted before they play a part in a game adventure. This situation introduces serious concerns about programming effort...

Airport leakage is a phenomenon that occurs when air passengers choose to travel longer surface distances to take advantage of better air services at an out-of-region airport (which we term the “substitute” airport), instead of using their local airport as would be expected (Suzuki & Audino,...

The variables that characterize construction organizational competencies are both quantitative and qualitative in nature, and thus require measurement methods and modeling techniques that can handle both variable types. Models that are capable of relating organizational competencies to...

With the advent of mobile computing, the responsibility of software developers to update and ship energy efficient applications has never been more pronounced. Green mining attempts to address this responsibility by examining the impact of software change on energy consumption. One problem with...

A hybrid weighted interacting particle filter, the selectively resampling particle filter (SERP), is used to detect and track multiple ships maneuvering in a region of water. The ship trajectories exhibit nonlinear dynamics and interact in a nonlinear manner such that the ships do not collide....

In this paper we present an empirical study on the refactoring activity in three well-known projects. We have studied five research questions that explore the different types of refactorings applied to different types of sources, the individual contribution of team members on refactoring...

Particle approximations are used to track a maneuvering signal given only a noisy, corrupted sequence of observations, as are encountered in target tracking and surveillance. The signal exhibits nonlinearities that preclude the optimal use of a Kalman filter. It obeys a stochastic differential...
